I have lived all over this country and in several foreign countries but I had never tried urban living. When we'd visit our daughter in Portland, we'd have so much fun on the weekends. We didn't have to get in the car to go to the fish market, the bakery, the coffee shop, the farmer's market. We'd walk all weekend and never have to get in a car. It was so much fun. I thought that since we're going to be staying in Staunton, this project was our chance to give urban living a try.
